For reference, this bug no longer occurs on the same hardware but with Intrepid.

Sorry - meant to say:

This bug DOES still occur with Intrepid, but now it's changed: Now two related programs crash -

Greg, comments on xfce bugzilla from the developers:

Can you please try current svn and report if the problem still persists? AFAIR,
I had a look over all allocation and free and applied according changes.

If you don't have an account there, please respond here and I will relay it to there. Thanks.
